However the sale is nothing like the sale of business.com earlier this year for a whopping $345 million in cash plus earnout RH Donnelley paid for Business.com, the info, directory and search site. Great buy for D&B;. Very surprised at the price, thought AB would easily exit in the 9 figures.

It makes for interesting news daily, with product announcements, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions. That being said, the time immediately following a bubble is equally interesting, with daily shutdown notices, bankruptcies, restructurings, sales on the cheap, etc. It will be neat to see when TechCrunch Deadpool posts dominate the news every day. In the near future, we could be seeing: TechCrunch - the Web 2.0 version of FuckedCompany.com. (Can I say FuckedCompany.com on here?) Cheers, Doug Duncan,
